TIME LAPSE VIDEO / SILHOUETTES OF US / DUMBO ART FESTIVAL 2012

This is video documentation of opening night at the Dumbo Art Festival in October, 2012.  As the sun goes down, the silhouette projections come up and the audience begins to interact.  Jake, Leo and myself are currently working on the next iteration of this project, while keeping with themes of intimacy, community, private vs urban space, illusions and connecting people.  Stay tuned!

Part II from Jennifer Liseo on Vimeo.

Three years ago, Nance and I took a month to travel around China and Vietnam with two friends who were in the midst of their journey around the world.  We had the good fortune to experience big cities, small villages, taste local flavors, see historical sites, extraordinary landscapes and meet amazing people.  It was a culture and language so foreign, that I became lost - in the best way possible!

These videos reveal a glimpse of our journey via my camera stills.

SILHOUETTES OF US

It all came together!  This is a photo from the first night of the Dumbo Arts Festival.  I collaborated with video artist Jacob Kader and installation artist Leo Valle on this video installation.  It was an amazing process and we continue to work on the next iteration for 2013.

Silhouettes of Us explores what personal space means in an urban environment.

Projected images allude to voyeuristic glimpses seen around the city, while clothes lines act as transcendental ever-changing canvases that play with light, scale and perception.  The empty tobacco warehouse becomes an intimate space filled with life.

You are welcome to participate by bringing a white garment with you to hang on a clothes line or by walking through to create your own silhouette.  

*I will post installation photos and video soon.

DUMBO ARTS FESTIVAL PROPOSAL 2012

Here are a few sketches and computer renderings (by Leonel Valle and myself) that were submitted for the Dumbo Art Festival 2012.  Silhouettes of Us is a site specific video installation that explores what personal space means in an urban environment.  We were encouraged by the festival organizers to go bigger, therefore our original installation idea grew in scale and concept as Jake Kader, Leo Valle and I collaborated.  More info and photos to come soon!

PICO MEANS LITTLE

Here are some photos from a recent shoot for pico jewelry line (picomeanslittle.com).  I had the pleasure of working with Andrea Panico (jewelry designer / owner) and model Larah Moravek (interior designer) in creating a photo series of the jewelry on people.  Visit the website to see more images from both her Little Architecture collection and Frank Lloyd Wright line.

PROCESS SHOTS

Right now I'm in the middle of working on a few projects that are not in the printing phase, but I had a strong desire to physically print - to make marks on paper with a bold ink by way of screenprinting.
So, I did.
I used up some scrap pieces of nice paper and used a screen I had already made (for the tote bags I sell) and made some cards. Here are some process shots for the fun of it!
